Proteopedia:DIY:Scenes

Below are step-by-step instructions on how to create molecular scenes to display, from green links, in articles in Proteopedia. You may simply learn from these instructions, or use them as a basis for your own scene, changing parameters, selections and colors. If this is your first time creating scenes in Proteopedia, you may first want to view the Proteopedia Video Guide.

Opening the Scene Authoring Tools

 * Open, in a separate browser window, the page where you will insert the scene.
 * Click on the "edit this page" tab.
 * Click on [show] Scene authoring tools (SAT).
 * Remember to save your work frequently. You can save multiple versions of each scene, and finally display only the last version.

Example: Tacrine, found on page 1acj

 * [load molecule] By PDB code, load 1acj
 * [selections] select none
 * [selections] "build your selection" choose group "all protein". add to selection
 * [colors] orange 50% transparency
 * [selections] "build your selection" limit to residues 84,330, replace selection
 * [representations] ball-and-stick and cartoon, set representation
 * [colors] magenta
